Evolve has made donations totalling $25,290.06 to The Evolve Foundation to date. This is only made possible because our clients chose Evolve when they needed insurance.
2023/2024 FY
Given the current economic outlook for this coming year, Evolve will be placing an embargo on donations provided to The Evolve Foundation. We hope that our model will flourish once again in the near future.
Donation Complete: Sep 2016 to MaR 2017 = $7,396.99
Donation Complete: Apr 2017 to Mar 2018 = $2,397.30
Donation complete: APR 2018 TO MAR 2019 = $5,545.44
Donation complete: APR 2019 TO MAR 2020 = $5,650.33
APR 2020 TO MAR 2022 = $4,300.00
The 2020/2021 year was challenging for all of us. Evolve found itself in a position, making a difficult choice to hold back the donation amount of $2,365.67 in order to get through a tough patch. While revoking the donation was extremely difficult, it was the right thing to do, to ensure that Evolve can remain operating. The 2021/2022 financial year was better, and it’s with great joy that Evolve is able to contribute $4,300 to The Evolve Foundation, which is a combination of $2,899.45 for 2022 FY and topped up to $4,300 to make up for the 2020/2021 FY.
Thank you for all the support from our clients and partners during the last couple of years!
Donation PENDING: APR 2022 TO MAR 2023 = $3,988.42

+ INTRODUCING THE EVOLVE FOUNDATION
New Zealanders are a giving bunch; we love to help. It’s innate in every human being on this planet to be there for those who are in need and to lend a hand during life’s difficult moments. We help others in many ways, almost always through some personal sacrifice, whether that be small or large.
There are over 27,000 registered charities in New Zealand and it’s easy to be overwhelmed by all the worthy causes – charities for everything from cancer research and support, to those which combat poverty, to those which further education. Each and every charity has an altruistic purpose, a team of amazing people, and needs funding to make a difference.
So why be “just another charity”? Why compete for donations with organisations working for the good of those in need when you might be trying to achieve the same thing? The key is collaboration, not competition.
+ WHY WE CREATED THE EVOLVE FOUNDATION
The Evolve Foundation isn’t here to do the same thing as other charities. Instead the foundation is here to support the good work these organisations already do. We are simply adding our support to the foundations that have already been laid; reinforcing through collaboration. The outcome we want is the same and it’s our vision, which is so important to us; to serve a greater purpose, by helping people and serving humanity.
We develop and support specific projects that are in line with what charities already do.. We carefully research ways that we believe we can help, we meet with the beneficiaries to ensure what we want to do is going to work for them. And if it’s all go, we start executing the project!
How we fund the foundation is the real gem. We are not asking you, the public, to give up your disposable income to support our cause - although donations are always welcome! We are giving you an option instead, and that option is to choose Evolve when you need insurance advice.
Evolve is a business with a social purpose. And that social purpose is to give a significant amount of its profits to The Evolve Foundation to ensure it can meet its vision. We’ve taken your decision to do business with Evolve and turned it into a donation – no personal sacrifice needed!
